A Timeline of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s Relationship

If you haven’t head, I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Orlando Bloom is officially off the market. The Lord of the Rings star proposed to long-time girlfriend Katy Perry this past Valentine’s Day, in a spectacle that is said to be “swoon-worthy.” She was shown rocking a beautiful, flower-shaped engagement ring that Bloom had customized just for her.

In honor of their new engagement and in case you’re a little behind on your celebrity gossip, here is an extended timeline of Perry and Bloom’s relationship.

January 2016

This is the first time that Perrybloom is rumored, as both attended the Netflix/Weinstein Company Golden Globes after party. For those in attendance, there was no question that the two were “a thing.” Apparently, the pair had a fun dance-off that left little to the imagination about the nature of their relationship. They were even rumored to leave the event together.
